古英语 storc “鹳”,源自原始日耳曼语 *sturkaz(也源自古挪威语 storkr,瑞典语和丹麦语 stork,中古荷兰语 storc,古高地德语 storah,德语 Storch “鹳”),源自 PIE 词根 *ster-(1)“僵硬的”。也许是因为鸟的僵硬或刚硬的姿势而被称为鹳。但有些人将这个词与希腊语 torgos “秃鹫”联系起来。
据说古教会斯拉夫语 struku,俄语 sterkhu,立陶宛语 starkus,匈牙利语 eszterag,阿尔巴尼亚语 sterkjok “鹳”是日耳曼语借词。关于婴儿是由鹳带来的儿童寓言(由不愿详细说明的成年人讲述)在1854年出现在英语中,源自德语和荷兰语的童话故事,毫无疑问是因为鹳在屋顶上筑巢意味着好运,通常以家庭幸福的形式出现。
